livendive 8 #3 February 16, 2008 I'm guessing the link went to a story about Netflix and Wal-Mart/Sam's Club joining Blockbuster this week in peddling Blu-Ray only.

That's because it was & is better quality than standard VHS, Sony just shot themselves in the foot with the proprietary rules for use, a lesson they learned from. ~ If you choke a Smurf, what color does it turn? ~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Only the Play station 3 can support that so even if you own a Blue Ray player it still sucks to be you as well.

Armour666 0 #23 February 17, 2008 Ya I like how sony played the numbers to includ PS3 as part of the BD players sold compared to HD DVD Hardware . The other thing was most current DVD manufacturers could change to HD DVD with little cost and changes in equipment but unfortunately thats not the case with BDSO this one time at band camp.....
